Questions about the life and times of Imrahil and his family can be asked here, including questions about Ultimatums, Kin-Strife and the shorter stories. Discussions about Brand can go either here or in the Best-Loved Son thread, since his stories sort of overlap both cycles.

It was just an irresistible sideline, as I actually came to TFF with a question in mind. I've been rereading parts of LotR and can't figure out: When does Imrahil first meet Gandalf? He seems to know him well before they connect in Minas Tirith in RotK. Did Tolkien ever say, and if not, when does it happen in your universe?

I can't think of where Tolkien ever said one way or another. And I honestly never gave it a moment's thought until you asked about it. Now there's this little grey-clad nuzgul dancing around my ankles. Thanks ever so much....;-)
